Shelter Donations March: Vordere, Primavesigasse, Siemenstrassse and Gasgasse camps

Update posted by Andrea Oterová

This last month we have been mainly focusing on collecting enough donations to buy airbeds for sick people at Vordere camp and pregnant refugees we are supporting at Lindengasse camp. We first had to get an approval from the camps since they can only be used for disadvantaged people and have to be aproved. We were not allowed to donate normal beds for hygienic reasons. Camps mostly use military beds for hygienic and practical purposes but many people cannot sleep on them and prefer to sleep on the floors! That is why we thought of helping at least pregnant women and sick people. Some people donated and we bought the rest. All together we raised and bought around 30 beds and 12 air pumps. The refugees are very happy with the change and told us that their sleep has improved a lot!

Apart from that we have taken basic donations of toiletries, food and clothes, that were given by donors, to Vordere Zollamtsstrasse camp and Primavesigasse camp.

We have also provided some money for an outing that Vordere organized for their children, they took them ice-skating so we helped them fund the rental of the skates.

Finally, we donated metro tickets and toiletries which we bought to the camps. All the receipts are in the dropbox link showed below.

Finally, we have donated a lot of play area items including tables, learning toys and wall stickers for Gasgasse shelter.


The receipts of purchases are in the dropbox folder:
